To be honest, I've had these gorgeous Great Gatsby photos for a while now, but I wanted to wait until EVERYONE saw the movie before posting. But, I think by now, we're safe...
My wonderful friend Alexa, owner of Vipress Designs, made a trek to the Big Apple and kindly took photos of the Great Gatsby exhibit at the Prada flagship store for us! Everything about these costumes move me: the love and attention brought to each and every piece, the respect shown to the Roaring 1920s, and the boldness of Miuccia Prada to do it and do it right.
Choosing my favorite piece would be like choosing my favorite designer, an impossible to task to behold. But I will mention my favorite element of these pieces, the color! It takes a true genius to play with a color palette for a period drama and infuse it with hues so incredibly relevant to today. Without the bold blues, quirky oranges, and even the subtle nudes, the flash and shine would be nothing.
So, brava, Ms. Prada! I expect to be seeing more of your costume design prowess soon!
